(Hope's Peak Academy Forest)
8:55am
I run quickly down the forest as I look up to see the sun shining in the beautiful morning. Suddenly I trip onto a rock and begin rolling down the hill like a wheel barrel. I roll and roll eventually laying outside of the forest.
I slowly get up rubbing the back of my neck and then look ahead of me to see where the school track was before me. I couldn't see the bleachers but as I got closer I could see it at the corner of my eyes making my way over there.
Taking my phone out to the check the time it was almost 9 in the morning. I place it back into my pocket and I could see Kyoko in the distance walking across the track and field.
'Wait what's that she's holding in her hand?'
Kyoko was holding something small on her right hand as she got closer to me. She looks up to see me at the top of the bleachers and she smiled as she stopped about halfway up.
"Here" replied Kyoko handing out what appeared to me some type of glasses.
"Huh?" asked Naegi puzzled.
"No need to panic, they're fake lenses" she replied. From the looks of the glasses they looked kind of funky, more so big and thick framing.
I step down from the top of the bleachers taking the glasses off Kyoko and placing them on my head.
"...ha" replied Kyoko tilting her head to the side with her hand blocking her mouth.
"...Haha" Kyoko then burst out laughing. It was the very first time I saw her laugh but it was actually quite cute.
"Kyoko?" asked Naegi shocked.
"It looks good on you" she replied losing her composure a bit.
Naegi smiles and then begins to laugh a little bit too.
"Thanks" replied Naegi lightly blushing.
"Alright, we should make our way there now" replies Kyoko.
(Danganronpa V3: Beautiful Lie Music Plays...)
After a few moments we begin to walk to the other side of the east district to the new physics lab on the fifth floor in the new school building and we make our way to the door.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Just a minute!" replied a female's voice.
A few moments pass and the women opens the door kind of slowly. We both look up and were shocked by how tall this women was; standing at 6' 3" with a slim body. She blushes lightly nervous and talks casually.
"Yes?" asked Rena Chi.
Kyoko took a little step closer to the tall women.
"You must be the Ultimate Biophysicist, correct?" asked Kyoko as she look at her with a plain expression.
"Yeah? Who are you?" asked Chi.
"I'm Kyoko Kirigiri, the Ultimate Detective" replied Kyoko.
Naegi steps forward too and places his one hand resting on his chest.
"And I'm Ma-her assistant," replied Naegi almost revealing his name. Although unfortunately the manger knew his name but he was hoping the glasses would make him look different.
"Oh nice to meet you both" smiled Rena.
"May we come in and ask you and your members some questions?" asked Kyoko.
"Not at all, please come in" replied Chi moving out of the way.
From her personality she seem to be a very heartwarming and well mannered person unlike Ueno. As we walked inside we could see the rest of the members busy working on their projects. Although for some reason there was no sign of Minoru Ueno, Rena Chi then shuts the door and turns around to face us.
"Would you guys like a cup of coffee?" asked Rena curiously.
"No were fine, thanks" replied Kyoko.
'I could of gone for coffee' thought Naegi.
"So what did you want to know?" asked Rena.
"We were wondering if you and your group knew anything about time travel" replied Kyoko.
Rena Chi blinking her eyes a bit puzzled but then smiled with a little giggle.
"Well you have come to the right place" replied Rena. We didn't say anything for a moment and she replies to us again.
"Come, I'll greet everyone else here" replied Rena gesturing her hand to follow us.
We follow her and we stop when we reach close to all of the other members working on the work board.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet Kyoko and her assistant...uh actually what was your name?" replied Rena Chi kindly and a bit curious looking at Naegi.
"Oh well uh-" panicked Naegi slightly until Kyoko immediately replied.
"Cetnien" replies Kyoko randomly out of her head.
They all looked at her bewildered and didn't know what to think of it.
"C-Cetnioen?" asked Rena confused.
"Yeah, my name is Cetnien Adachi" replied Naegi.
"...Well that's a weird first name but it's nice to meet you guys, the names Tysuyoshi Chikyu" replied Chikyu shaking both of their hands.
One man was writing on the board drawing some type of mechanical machine but nothing that looked like the time machine. He seem to be in the zone ignoring his surroundings.
"That guy over there is Chokichi Katsuo, he's not much of a talker but he's known to be the smartest out of all of us here" replied Chikyu making a silly frown face.
"And you're known to be the biggest dumb ass in this department" replied another female voice.
"I am not! What are you talking about?" cried Chikyu.
"I'm Seiki Sekigushi, its a pleasure" replied Seiki looking at them bored.
"It's great to meet all of you" replied Naegi.
"So these guys wanted to know about time travel" replied Rena as she gestured her hands in front of her chest.
"Ohh yeah? Well I can tell you that time travel is possible-" replied Chikyu but got interrupted.
"Although its not possible on earth" replied Seiki crossing her arms.
"You always do that Seiki, that's not fair" cried Chikyu disappointed.
"Tuff luck for you sore loser" replied Seiki.
Kyoko looked over to the guy writing on the board and decided to approach him. Naegi decided to stay where he was as he saw her walk closer to him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Katsuo" replied Kyoko.
"...I'm busy" he replied.
She felt a bit pissed off from his response but she held her composure as usual and she tried to approach it another way.
"Is time travel possible?" asked Kyoko.
"Yes" replied Katsuo.
"Could you briefly explain that to us?" asked Kyoko curiously.
Mr. Katsuo who appeared to be in his early 20s sighed and still kept drawing detail parts of a machine.
"Why are you interested in that subject anyway?" asked Katsuo slightly irritated.
"Because we think you guys made a time machine" replied Kyoko casually.
Mr. Katsuo stopped from what he was doing and turned around to face her. He had a square jaw, with spiky burgundy hair and a medium built body. He stared at her seriously and then sighed again.
"Even if we made a time machine, we wouldn't be able to give that information out to students" replied Katsuo.
"So you admit that you have or will invent a time machine?" pressed Kyoko further.
"Wait, Kyoko maybe we shouldn't push him that far" replied Naegi.
Mr Katsuo looked at Naegi and then back to Kyoko.
"You should listen to your boyfriend over there" replied Katsuo.
Kyoko lightly blushes as Naegi blushes even more and then Kyoko crosses her arms frustrated.
"He's not my boyfriend" replied Kyoko.
"Oh you just got told kid" replied Seiki smirking at Naegi. Naegi looks at her dumbfound and kept shaking his head madly as he blushed.
"Well were good friends, but I'm not sure if I could put those terms in-" replied Naegi but was interrupted.
"Oh you're blushing when you say that" replied Rena pointing at Naegi.
"Nono, I'm just embarrassed is all" replied Naegi honestly. Naegi couldn't hide his emotions most of the time and knew that most people would know if he was lying. However, that's one pet peeve he has because he hates lying to people.
"I happen to be the principle's daughter, I'm not an ordinary student here" replied Kyoko flatly.
"Well...if you really want to know...we don't have a time machine" replied Katsuo.
Kyoko looks at him shocked and turns to look at the others in the room. They all shook their head as they were agreeing with Katsuo.
"Sorry, we don't know much about it" replied Rena.
Suddenly, someone comes in opening the door and walks towards everyone a bit puzzled. It was surprisingly Minoru Ueno who looked at Kyoko and Naegi.
"It's you two! What the hell are you doing here?" asked Ueno shocked. He then looks at Naegi as he walks closer to observe the accessory he was wearing.
"And why are you wearing those ridiculous glasses?" he asked giving a sassy remark.
"Well I-" replied Naegi but was intrrupted again.
"Not another word, I don't really care" replied Ueno flicking his hand in the air as he walked over to Kyoko and Katsuo.
"So what do you want, detective?" asked Ueno cockily.
"You know why" replied Kyoko.
"Huh? Oh...yeah now I remember you wanted to know about time machines, well sorry to break it to you but we don't have-" replied Ueno but was interrupted.
"We already told them" replied Katsuo.
"But you guys must be planning to make one, right?" asked Naegi out loud.
"We do but not for awhile" replied Katsuo.
"I see...well then will be taking our leave, thank you all for your time" replied Kyoko walking for the exit.
Naegi grabs Kyoko by the arm to stop her.
"Wait we can't leave yet, these guys must be lying" replied Naegi.
"Take your hand off me" replied Kyoko.
"Kyoko, listen to me these guys have to be-" replied Naegi but was interrupted for a third time today.
"Will just have to leave it as it is" replied Kyoko, Naegi looked at her shocked and then he let go of her arm that she clenched into a fist. She walks out of the door and Naegi quickly follows her out.
(Beautiful Lie Music Ends...)
(Danganronpa 3: The Biggest Tragic Event in Human History Music Plays...)
As they walk down the hallways they see a tall man with wavy black hair walking towards them and he was slightly slouching as he then looks up to see them.
"Why didn't we question them more about it? I could tell Ueno and Katsuo were lying" replied Naegi puzzled and slightly irritated.
"I know but pressing them further will do nothing, at this point will have to wait" replied Kyoko.
As the man reaches closer Naegi looks over to see the man and then suddenly a spark hits somewhere into Naegi's neurological pathways and he stares at him in horror.
'Whaaa!?'
Kyoko didn't acknowledge the man as she probably didn't know who the man was in the first place. However, at that moment Naegi stopped in his tracks and stared at him as something began throbbing his head more and more until he began to slowly slip unconscious and conscious at the same time.
'Wait...it can't be?! Is he...'
Naegi places his hand on his head as the piece of his brain began to sharpen in pain and he looked down at the ground for a moment; staring in wide eyes as he began to tear up.
"Naegi?" asked Kyoko puzzled as she stopped in her tracks turning back to look at Naegi.
'Who is that man? Who? Who? Whowhowhwowho, WHO!?'
The sharp pain just kept getting worse and worse as his world became very dizzy and his stomach began to become nauseous.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" cried Naegi as he looked up placing both of his hands to his head in fear.
The world began to turn into black spots as he could see the man looking at him a bit shocked and then Naegi fell unconscious. As he was about to hit the floor, Yasuke Matsuda grabbed his body from the stomach with his one arm and seen Kyoko looking at Naegi slightly shocked.
(The Biggest Tragic Event in Human History Ends...)
(Danganronpa 3: BAD END? Music Plays...)
The man then stared at Kyoko feeling as though he has seen her around the school before but realized that she looked kind of like the principle.
"Do I know you?" asked Matsuda sarcastically.
"That depends" replied Kyoko.
He then opens his eyes a bit wide and realized who she was exactly.
"You're the principle's daughter" replied Matsuda.
She nods her head.
"Well, whatever you're doing here isn't much of my business; so I'll help you take this guy to the nursery" replied Matsuda.
"You don't need to do that, I can take of him" replied Kyoko.
"I insist" replied Matsuda cutting it short.
Kyoko paused for a minute and then decided to agree with it; knowing Naegi wasn't in too much danger. The only thing that bothered her was whether this guy was to be trusted or not.
They walk down the hallway in silence as Kyoko walked beside Matsuda carrying Naegi over his shoulder and she was extremely puzzled as to why Naegi made that reaction. One thing for sure, there's a chance that this man might have something to do with Naegi's Amnesia.
'Is he possibly from Ultimate Despair? Or is he just a pawn?' thought Kyoko.

(Class 78's Classroom)
10:38Am
(Beautiful Days Music Plays...)
The class was working together on a group assignment, they had to write what they felt the most gratitude in what they experienced in their lives and it was split into 3 groups in the classroom. The First group was Naegi, Aoi, Sakura, Ishimaru and Mukuro. As for the second group it was Chihiro, Celestia, Leon, Sayaka and Junko. Lastly the third group was Oowada, Hifumi, Yasuhiro, Toko and Byakuya. However, Kyoko was absent for 8th time this year. The teacher was very disappointed, especially knowing that she held a reputation as the principle's daughter. The class was just finishing up as they were all writing on the big piece of paper and chatting away.
"What do you feel is grateful, Naegi?" Asked Aoi.
"Well, I find there's a lot of things to be grateful for but if I had to choose one, it would be to have friends" replied Naegi.
His group nods and Sakura wrote it down.
"Well that should do for our group" replied Sakura
The second however were struggling a little bit.
"What do I feel gratitude for?" said Sayaka a bit stressed.
"Come on Sayaka! You can handle this" replied Leon laughing kindly.
"Hmmm..." replied Sayaka.
'Easy for you to say...' thought Sayaka irritated.
"I would put poker, but not that anyone knows how much fun it can be" giggled Celestia.
Leon then writes down what Celestia suggested and they continue to think.
"What's the point of this anyway?" asked Junko puzzled.
No one replied to her comment and she continued.
"Well this is boring, I can't think of anything" replied Junko depressed.
Now as for the third group they were already long finished awhile ago and sat there relaxing. After another 5 minutes the teacher tells the three groups to stick their ideas onto the chalkboard and have one person present per group. So Ishimaru, Leon and Yasuhiro were chosen.
"Alright everyone, be quiet and let our first presenter start" replied the teacher.
Ishimaru explained that Naegi felt gratitude for friends, himself for discipline, Aoi for donuts, Sakura for missing Kenshiro and Mukuro for learning.

(Desire for Execution Music Plays...)
Everyone in the room went silent as Sakura's reason was a bit of a shock to everyone. Suddenly Sakura gets up from her seat and looks at everyone as she makes her way up to the front of the classroom.
"I want everyone to know my secret that's been eating up inside of me" replied Sakura.
"..." the entire classroom was silent still as they were waiting for Sakura to speak up.
"Kenshiro is one man that I could never defeat in Martial Arts" replied Sakura seriously.
The entire classroom gasped in shock and even Ishimaru jumped back into the chalkboard beside her.
"No that can't be!" cried Aoi.
"No it is true...and..." replied Sakura clenching her hands into a fist as she was almost about to cry. Her whole body tightened as she spoke up again.
"AND...he only has less than 6 months to live" cried Sakura.
"..." the entire room didn't know what to say.
"I think I need to go..." said Sakura as she began running in her heavy built muscle body to the exit. However, Aoi placed her hands out to block her from leaving.
"Stop right there, you're not going anywhere" replied Aoi with determination.
"...Get out of my way" replied Sakura beginning to cry.
"There's no need to carry this burden alone" replied Aoi as she looked around the classroom.
"She's right! Were all here for you!" cried Naegi standing up from his seat.
"Yeah! We can't let our emotions break the rules of this school!" shouted Ishimaru in pride.
"Suck it up we all go through shit" replied Oowada leaning back in his chair with his feet on the desk.
Everyone else smiles and say how much condolences they felt for Sakura.
"You...GUYS!" cried Sakura happily.
"Everything's okay" replied Aoi hugging Sakura around the waist. She then lets go after a moment and looks up at her smiling.
"This is too touching..." replied Byakuya irritated under his breath.
"It's okay Hina, I'm going to get stronger! And I'm...I'm going to prove it to Kenshiro!" shouted Sakura in pride.
"Yeah! That's the spirit!" cried Aoi.
Everyone then cheered her on in an encore and after a few moments Sakura sat back down in her seat with a big smile on her face.
'I may of not kept my promise to Kenshiro...but...I will prove to you that I will become the strongest fighter on earth!' thought Sakura as the class continued their session.

(Nursery Room)
6:13pm
Naegi begins to open his eyes as he looks up at the ceiling.
'What...happened?'
He then looks over to the left to see an empty stool beside him and he then begins to slowly rise from the bed.
'Last thing I remember...was...'
An image pops in his head and his head begins to hurt him again. He places his hand to his forehead in agony and grits his teeth.
'What was it...I can't recall...dammit!'
Suddenly the door opens and he sees Kyoko come in.
"You're awake..." replied Kyoko, she makes her way closer to him until she stops near the stool.
"Yeah, but I don't remember how I got here" replied Naegi placing his hand to his forehead again.
"Me and another person brought you here...but thankfully he was from another class or he would've saw your other self" replied Kyoko relieved.
"Another person?...all I can remember is leaving the physics lab and the rest became blank..." replied Naegi in distress.
"Has this happened before?" asked Kyoko suspicious.
"Now that I think about it I recall this happened to me once before but...it was around the time when I first arrived here" replied Naegi looking at Kyoko.
"Hmmm..." replied Kyoko pondering in thought.
Suddenly, a person opened the door and made his way in.
"So he's alive" replied an unfamiliar voice sarcastically. Then Naegi looked over and his eyes opened wide in horror.
"You..." replied Naegi slightly confused but at the same time curious.
(Danganronpa V3: Cool Morning Music Plays...)
The man walked over and stared at him for a moment and then looked over to Kyoko.
"Does he know what happened?" asked Matsuda.
"...No" replied Kyoko.
"Hmm...I see" replied Matsuda sighing. He looks back over to me and looks at a bit puzzled.
"Who are you?" asked Naegi while his brain was giving signals that he felt like he knew him.
"My name is Yasuke Matsuda, the Ultimate Neurologist" replied Matsuda.
"Why do I know that name?" asked Naegi confused placing both of his hands to his head.
"You probably know me because I've came to your class one time to teach you guys about a lesson on how to control your emotions" replied Matsuda.
"Maybe but...I feel like I know you from..." replied Naegi trailing off. Naegi for a moment had a memory pop up of him seeing something on the ground with that name; it almost felt like the near future.
(Flashback Memory)
Makoto walks in the hallway when he stumbled upon a e-handbook, he picked it up and saw the name belonged to Yasuke Matsuda.
"That name sounds familiar...I should probably go deliver this to him" replied Naegi.
Then suddenly a flash before his eyes came to him, he was now at the sick bay and he saw a women with long red hair that was looking at him anxiously.
(Flashback Memory Ends)
'What was that just now...a memory? And who was that girl?...'
"Ahhh...my head hurts" replied Naegi feeling sick again.
"Naegi, you should probably rest" replied Kyoko.
"Why did you look at me oddly from before? It was almost like you saw a ghost" replied Matsuda curious.
"This may be hard to say but...I almost felt like you were a part of my memory that I couldn't remember" replied Naegi.
"Strange...Naegi, are you experiencing amnesia?" asked Matsuda.
'Wait! Don't tell me! ...but then again he said that he was the Ultimate Neurologist!' thought Naegi shocked.
"Yeah...kind of" replied Naegi slightly shocked in his tone.
"Hmmm...is there anything that you could recall about me in your memory?" asked Matsuda pressing Naegi further.
'I don't think it would be wise to tell him the truth...as much as I want to I can't...otherwise I'll make things complicated'
"No nothing at the moment" replied Naegi placing his hand to his head as felt he was having a huge headache.
"Well...if you remember anything, come to my office and will talk" replied Matsuda seriously.
"Okay" replied Naegi. Matsuda then looked to Kyoko.
"Take care, detective" replied Matsuda with a sarcastic smirk. He then turned away and began walking out of the room and disappearing. Kyoko then looked at Naegi curiously and also somewhat suspicious.
"You knew something didn't you?" replied Kyoko looking at him intensively.
"Yeah but, I didn't want him to know" replied Naegi truthfully.
She crossed her arms and smiled closing her eyes for a moment.
"It's probably for the best" replied Kyoko. After one moment of silence she spoke up again.
"Tell me what you remember, was it to with the tragedy?" asked Kyoko seriously. Naegi clenched his one hand into a fist staring at it.
"Not exactly...it had to do with me delivering his e-handbook and..." replied Naegi trailing off forgetting the other part.
"And?" pressed Kyoko further.
"Well...something to do with a women that I haven't seen before but...I...I can't remember who" replied Naegi frustrated looking at Kyoko honestly with a little frown on his face.
"Hmmm" replied Kyoko curiously as she pondered in thought for second.
"If only I could remember her face" replied Naegi. His brain began to hurt again and he placed his right hand to his forehead.
"But why does my lost memories connect with him?" asked Naegi to himself.
"...I'll ask him if he knows anything" replied Kyoko turning away from Naegi.
'I don't know if that's wise...he might not know because it hasn't happened yet and he might be behind the tragedy'
"Wait!" cried Naegi.
Kyoko looks at the door but doesn't turn around to face him.
"What if he has a motive behind it?" asked Naegi worried.
"I'll be careful, you just rest Naegi" replied Kyoko walking out and disappearing.
'Dammit...I got a feeling...that he's the one behind erasing everyone's memories...but still...why do I feel like he isn't the bad guy?' thought Naegi in distress as he lays back down resting his head on the pillow looking up at the ceiling.
(Cool Morning Music Ends...)
(Matsuda's Office)
7:05pm
Matsuda was writing down some papers as he hears someone knocking at his door.
"Come in" replied Matsuda slightly irritated.
"Guess who?! It's me my love" cried Junko running over to him.
"Oh? That's cute coming from you" replied Matsuda sarcastically.
"You know it! I love you so much that a million stars can't compete to it" replied Junko as she placed her hands on the desk and stared at him with her eyes glistening.
Matsuda rolls his eyes and picks up one of his manga book.
"So what do you want?" asked Matsuda flipping through the pages.
"What else?! YOU of course!" said Junko while she tried to play with his long wavy black hair.
"That's sweet" replied Matsuda sarcastically as he leaned back from Junko.
"It is isn't it?!" cried Junko jumping in the air.
'She doesn't get my sarcasm...does she' thought Matsuda to himself.
"Guess what I learned in class today?!" asked Junko excitedly.
"What? To learn about life?" asked Matsuda not interested as he was still reading his manga book.
"No silly! I learned about the stupid things that matter to me!" replied Junko giving a thumbs up.
"That's nice" replied Matsuda sarcastically again.
She leans over and to look at his book.
"Are you reading one of your dirty manga books again?" asked Junko seductively.
"You wish" replied Matsuda.
"You're soo funny! Hahaha maybe I should be in a manga book" replied Junko smirking in his face.
"Yeah I could see that" replied Matsuda sarcastically.
She then crosses her arms and then looks at Matsuda seriously.
"Hey...could you do me a huge favor?" asked Junko.
"Huh? What is it?" asked Matsuda placing his manga book onto his desk looking at her.
(Weekly Despair Magazine Music Plays...)
"...Could you erase my memories?" asked Junko.
"...Why?" asked Matsuda confused.
She leans in showing a bit of her cleavage and looks at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Because I want you to experiment on me" replied Junko.
Matsuda sighs crossing his arms.
"That will take awhile to do, and doing it can be very dangerous" replied Matsuda seriously.
"I don't care about the risk, I'll do anything for you" replied Junko.
'What is wrong with this chick...given the fact I've known her since childhood I shouldn't be surprised...' thought Matsuda.
"Okay fine, but what exactly do you want me to erase?" asked Matsuda.
She walks around his desk and leans into his ear whispering to him.
"I want you to erase who I am and make me believe that I'm another person"
Matsuda opens his eyes a bit shocked as she leans away and looks at her confused.
"So can you do it?!" smiled Junko.
"...Yeah" replied Matsuda looking at her for a moment a bit agitated.
"YEAAHH! YOU ARE THE BEST!" replied Junko diving in hugging him.
"Whatever" replied Matsuda crossing his arms again.
"I want my name to be Ryoko Otonashi! You know because Ryoko means a refreshing child and Otonashi for no sound" replied Junko.
"Weird name but if that's what you want then it should be no problem" replied Matsuda.
"Great so how long should it take?" asked Junko.
"About 6 months" replied Matsuda.
"...Six months?!" cried Junko.
"Well it's not easy as the snap of my finger, it takes time to do" replied Matsuda sighing.
"Like what is the procedure to do it?" asked Junko placing her one hand on her hip.
"First, I would need to do planning on deciding which memories to erase from your mind" replied Matsuda pausing.
"Then what?" asked Junko seriously.
"Well then after I make all the preparations, I would need to get the neurological community to speak with the steering committee and once its approved I can do surgery on your brain" replied Matsuda seriously.
"Cool!" replied Junko jumping again with joy. Suddenly she then automatically frowns. Matsuda looks at her even more puzzled.
"What's with that look?" asked Matsuda.
"If the steering committee knows they won't allow it...so" replied Junko looking up at him seriously.
"You got to itty bitty promise me that you won't tell!" replied Junko giving puppy dog eyes again.
Matsuda sighs as he leans back in his chair.
"You know if I do that I can get caught... I'd be kicked out of this school" replied Matsuda.
Junko leans in with her arms crossed and stares at him with determination; almost like she's about to solve an answer and bring the person to justice.
"No need to worry, all you have to do is tell them that your experimenting on an animal" replied Junko. Matsuda raises an eyebrow and smirks.
"You don't seem to get that it's not that easy, it would even mean convincing the principle" replied Matsuda.
"Come on! Please! Please to the sun and the moon! Please that I'll help you in any bitty witty way" replied Junko giving a sad puppy dog eye look this time.
"...You're really stubborn aren't you" replied Matsuda sarcastically. Junko glares with her eyes glistening into Matsuda's pupils, after a moment Matsuda was beginning to get irritated.
"Auhhh alright, but how do you propose with getting away with it?" asked Matsuda. Junko leans in and places her hands on his desk.
"All I need to do is simply tell them that I'm going on business trip for the fashion magazine and once that happens you can work away your magic" replied Junko normally.
"Easy for you to say, though if I don't do it I'll never hear the end of it" replied Matsuda.
"You're totally right! You get ten points for that!" cried Junko giving him a thumbs up.
"Well now, once that's done, you'll be coming to have check ups with me everyday, so I can examine your behaviors" replied Matsuda flatly.
"Alright! That's awesome, Matsuda-kun" replied Junko with a smirk. Matsuda lightly smirks and then picks up his manga book again.
"Give me a couple weeks and then come back and see me" replied Matsuda while reading.
"Okay! I'll see you around!" replied Junko skipping to the door and shutting the door with a little slam.
(Weekly Despair Magazine Music Ends...)
Junko passes a garbage bin as she continued to go down the long hallway of the east side of the district.
Suddenly, Kyoko gets out of the garbage bin and sees Junko disappearing to her left down the hallway. She places her hand to her chin in deep thought.
'So Matsuda is the lead that erases our memories...with the help of Junko'
She was thinking of going to talk to Matsuda but decided she got the information that she needed. She begins to take out her flip phone and text Naegi.
(Nursery Room)
7:18pm
Future Naegi was about ready to get out of the Nursery after a long rest when he heard his phone.
*Vroom* *Vroom*
'Must be from Kyoko'
He takes out his phone and opens it.
7:19pm
To: Igean
Matsuda is the one behind erasing our memories...I heard him and Junko planning to erase her own memories for an experiment.
From: Kyoko
'So I was right!' thought Naegi shocked.
I text her back and send her my message.
To: Kyoko
No way! So Matsuda must be in on the tragedy!
From: Igean
A minute later she replies.
7:20pm
To: Igean
It's possible, come to the gazebo in 10 minutes and will talk more about this
From Kyoko
I close my phone and put it back into my pocket. I quickly grab my fake glasses and run out of nursery heading to the closest exit. Luckily no one was around and I made it safely to the gazebo.
I could see Kyoko waiting for me there and we talked for about 15 minutes. She then tells me what name Junko wanted her name to be and about how long it will take to do.
"So by May she'll have her mind completely erased" replied Naegi clenching his fist a bit stressed.
"Hmh, in the meantime she might be planning other things that she has in mind" replied Kyoko crossing her arms.
"Yeah" replied Naegi.
"Maybe your memories will come back during that time" replied Kyoko curiously.
"I only wish I knew more about it now but..." replied Naegi pausing for a second.
"I can't think of anything at the moment" replied Naegi in distress clenching his fist.
"Well we still got about 6 months until the tragedy, correct?" asked Kyoko.
"Yeah around there, I just wish I knew an exact date" replied Naegi a bit irritated.
"Let's just keep investigating, and will find something" replied Kyoko.
"Of course!" replied Naegi with determination.
'Now that I think about it...why does Junko want to erase her mind around the same time as the tragedy?' thought Kyoko. She was about to ask Naegi about it but decided against it since he couldn't remember.
They then split ways as Naegi went back to the forest and Kyoko to the east district.
Time passed as it reached to December.
Thursday, December 9th 2010.
12:27pm
During the time throughout November there was a huge exam test going on for the end of first semester. Everyone than got a week break to go and see family afterwards. However, not for everyone, some people stayed at the school enjoying themselves with friends. Most of class 78 left, so during the meantime future Naegi decided to take past Naegi's bed. As for Junko and Mukuro they were staying at the academy, and the rest of the students wouldn't return back till Tuesday December 14th.
Future Naegi was resting in bed as he was waking up from a nap.
(Flashback)
"Make sure to keep an eye on Junko while I'm gone to my grandfathers, but make sure not to get caught since you're younger self isn't suppose to be here" replied Kyoko.
"Sure no problem!" replied Naegi.
"And here take this" replied Kyoko handing him a coat.
"Wow thank-you!" cried Naegi.
Kyoko smiled.
"You'll need it" she replied crossing her arms.
(Flashback Ends)
'I better go check on Junko...if I can find her'
Everyone left on December 7th, Junko has been with Murkuro on some occasions and other times by herself just lurking around the school bored.
(Flashback)
Wednesday, December 8th 2010.
(East District Hallways)
"Ohhhh I just came up with a cool nickname for our group!" cried Junko staring at her sister with her eyes glistening.
"...Oh?" replied Mukuro.
"Will be called...The Ultimate Despair Sisters" replied Junko placing her hand to her mouth.
'Really?!' thought Naegi.
(Flashback Ends)
-Present Day-
Naegi made sure to keep spying on her without getting caught but he found it sometimes boring to follow her. He knew that he didn't want to bring those ridiculous glasses because it felt like he was impersonating Byakuya and Hifumi. Just as he got out of bed to leave taking his coat; he tripped on the floor.
'Dammit! What did I even trip on?!'
He turned his body around to look to find he tripped on his shoes.
'You got to be kidding me!'
He quickly got off the floor, standing on his feet and placing his shoes on while tying the laces up.
'I'll try looking for Junko around the gift shop, she seems to go there whenever she gets really bored...' thought Naegi as he made his way out of his dorm.
Meanwhile, Junko was bored walking in the hallways. She happen to go visit Matsuda a few times before the break while she had to fill out a bunch of answers for him. He told her that its just for the neurological scientists to read over. He also mentioned that the steering committee would have no way of reading the file and that the neurological scientists would delete it afterwards. She found that it wasn't that much fun but she written it out as followed:

10. Do you have any neurological diseases? No
As Junko kept walking down the hallway future Naegi could see her. She was about 50 feet up ahead of him as she then overheard the staff up ahead of her turning around from the intersection on the hallway to her left. The first thing she heard was them talking about a Hope Cultivation Plan. She decided to follow them and listen closely to their conversation. Future Naegi did his best to get a little closer to follow Junko and faintly hear the staff members.
"I can't believe that the Izuru Kamukura project was a success last month or so" replied a male staff from the steering committee.
"Yeah, let's just keep that to ourselves" replied a female staff from the steering committee.
'Izuru Kamukura, I wonder what this is all about...' thought Junko as she recalled him as the founder of this school. She wasn't able to find too much information about him but this might be some kind of lead.
'I can barely hear them...dammit! It sounds important!' thought Naegi agitated.
"I know, I just can't believe we had to choose someone from the reserves department out of all people in the academy" replied the male staff member.
"Indeed...wait shut up, are you trying to have someone hear us?!" replied the female staff.
'Reserves Department? Haha, OMG seriously?!' thought Junko.
The female staff member stops in his tracks and Junko panics quickly hiding behind the food vending machine to her left beside her. Future Naegi quickly went to his right crouching down to hide by a little water drinking fountain.
She keeps her lips sealed as she was standing while leaning on her side and you could tell he was looking behind him. Naegi could tell better because he was looking at the people in the corner of his right eye while he rested his back against the fountain.
"What's wrong?" asked the male staff member.
"I thought...that i heard someone's footsteps...must of been my imagination" replied the female staff member. She turns back around and they both continue walking.
'That was close...' thought Junko as she peaked around the corner sticking her head out. She could see them as they kept walking forward down the hall.
'I got to listen into more of their conversation...I want to FIND OUT MOOORE ABOUT IZURU KAMUKURA hahaha' thought Junko evilly as she quietly sneaked up behind them to a 10 meter radius. Future Naegi got out of his spot and quickly sneaked his way up to Junko. This time Naegi was able to hear the staff members better because they spoke a little bit louder.
"You know its great, with the new creation of the century and all but its depressing that he's locked up in a room" replied the male staff member seriously.
"...shut the fuck up already" replies the female staff member getting a bit pissed off.
'Seriously...there's got to be more that I don't know... this is getting lame' thought Junko depressed.
'Who is Izuru Kamakura? Wait who exactly are they talking about?' thought Naegi anxiously.
"It's just interesting what the founder Izuru Kamukura would think about this" replied the male staff member.
"Say one more thing about it and I will put you through hell tonight" replied the female staff member.
They then open the big doors leading into a restricted section in a district and Junko stopped where she was at the door that shut in front of her.
'Hmmm...I got to find more information about this' thought Junko. She then recalled that there was an Ultimate Secret Agent named Yuto Kamishiro in class 77-A and decided to talk with him to gather more information about the Izuru Kamukura Project.
As Junko stopped in her tracks moments before she was thinking, Future Naegi turned around slightly running quietly to the vending machine and stayed there. Soon Junko passed him and she didn't even recognize him as his clothes blended with the machine.
Junko then made her way to the guidance office and saw that the Ultimate Secret Agent was on the board for visiting his parents. In the meantime, she decided to try and convince some people to join her group of Ultimate Despair who were still here.
Saturday, December 11th 2010.
Nagito Komeda was the only one from class 77 that didn't leave to go on vacation; knowing very well that his parents died in a plane crash when he was in middle school.
He was sitting in the gazeboo in the center between the two districts and frowned as he thought quietly to himself about his goals at Hope's Peak Academy.
'What can I do...to show this school that I can get them to understand about...everything that needs despair to create ultimate hope!?' thought Nagito.
He then grits his teeth frustrated and got up kicking the wooden bench.
"...No one gets it!" cried Nagito. He clenches his fist and looks up at the gazeboo's ceiling in despair.
"This last year and a half has been nothing than lost false hope...everyone seems to think that Hope can give them the answer to everything!" cried Nagito as his eyes began to turn crazy. He then places his arms up in the air having his hands flat as they spread out and he stared at the sky looking determined for a desperate answer.
"It would be wonderful if they all could see the truth...HahahaAHAHHHH" cried Nagito in despair.
"I can make that happen" replied a female's voice. Nagito turns around shocked and looks at her curiously.
"W-what? Who are you?" asked Nagito puzzled.
"I'm Junko Enoshima, I'm the one that's going to make your vision become a reality" smiled Junko lightly giggling.
"Oh yeah, how do you purpose to do that?" asked Nagito curiously. Junko gives an evil grins and stares at him with determination.
"By joining my group of Ultimate Despair" replied Junko with a serious tone. Naegi who was hiding under a bench near the gazebo as he opened his eyes in shock.

(Central Plaza Courtyard)
8:57pm
Future Naegi met up with Kyoko once she returned and told her about the situation with Junko's plan about trying to convince people to join her group of ultimate despair. Kyoko was quite shocked from his news but remained calm as she listen to what else he had to say.
"She already got someone to join a few days ago" replied Naegi.
"Who?" asked Kyoko.
"Nagito Komeda" replied Naegi seriously.
"Hmmm...what do you think she's planning to do?" asked Kyoko.
"I don't know but nothing good" replied Naegi. Kyoko remained quiet as she was pondering in thought as they were outside near the entrance to the forest.
"Kyoko?" asked Naegi wanting to ask her something important. She turns to look at him.
"I got to meet that guy again, he might be the answer to gaining my memories back" replied Naegi.
Kyoko looked at him a bit surprised but smiled lightly as she crossed her arms.
"That should be no problem" replied Kyoko. Naegi gave a nod. He was ready to do anything to possibly get his memories back at this point and so the next day they both go visit him.
Wednesday, December 15th 2010.
11:09am
*KNOCK KNOCK*
No one responded. They could hear a loud noise inside Matsuda's Room. Naegi tried knocking again.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Still there was no answer.
"Dammit!" replied Naegi frustrated.
"Will just have to come back later" replied Kyoko walking away from the door.
"Yeah" replied Naegi disappointed.
*BOOM*
(Danganronpa V3: Future Edition Class Trial Music Plays...)
"W-what was that!?" cried Naegi. Kyoko looked at the door with suspicion.
"It's coming from inside" replied Kyoko. She opens the door and scans the room. She could see Matsuda on the floor unconscious and a machine broken down nearby seeing it was caught on fire.
"Naegi, quickly find a fire extinguisher!" shouted Kyoko.
"G-got it!" cried Naegi.
He ran down the hall in a panic and found one in the hallway. He opened the glass case and took it out. Quickly running back he dashed inside the room and took out the ring piece and pressed the trigger shooting towards the smoky machine.
The sprinklers started going off as Naegi kept shooting away, while Kyoko opened a window to let the smoke get out of the room. After a couple minutes they were able to get rid of the fire and most of the black carbon monoxide smoke. They then dragged Matsuda out of the room, while Kyoko and Naegi place him beside his door outside having him sit on the floor leaning against the wall.
(Future Edition Class Trial Music Ends...)
"He should be okay, he'll probably wake up soon" replied Kyoko seriously.
"Yeah, I hope your right" replied Naegi. He paused for a moment and then spoke up again.
"I'm just glad no one else got involved" replied Naegi worrying about the chances of the entire school knowing about it. Thankfully the room didn't have a fire alarm but it is considered unsafe. If they didn't come when they did, Yasuke Matsuda would of been dead. A minute or so passes and he wakes up.
"..." Matsuda look up to see Makoto and Kyoko were looking at him.
"You two...saved me" replied Matsuda puzzled.
"If we didn't come sooner you would've been dead" replied Kyoko crossing her arms.
"Yeah thank god you did when it happened..." replied Matsuda getting off the ground.
"What were you doing exactly anyway?" asked Kyoko.
"I was working on my erasing memory machine...until I turned it on it exploded...probably because it had a short fuse" replied Matsuda.
"Is there, by any chance a way to regain someone's memories?" asked Naegi curiously. Matsuda looks at Naegi seriously and then sighs.
"It's possible but I don't have time to work on that" replied Matsuda.
"It would help if you could!" cried Naegi. Matsuda could see Naegi was saying it in fear and could tell he wanted his memory back desperately.
"...Alright, on every Saturday afternoon come visit my office and will work on it" replied Matsuda a bit irritated.
"Okay!" replied Naegi happily.
"How long would it take?" asked Kyoko a bit worried.
"2 months should about do it" replied Matsuda.
'Perfect! Then will have lots of time to take action!' thought Naegi relieved.
"Well, I need to get back working with the damages...thanks again" replied Matsuda as he opened his office door and went inside.
Naegi smiled and looked toward Kyoko. However, Kyoko walked passed him and began going down the hallway.
"Let's go" she replied.
'What's with her?'
"Wait up!" cried Naegi as he made his way to her.
"What's wrong?" asked Naegi confused.
Kyoko Kirigiri stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Naegi.
"You got to watch out for Yasuke Matsuda..." replied Kyoko.
"I know, it's just..." replied Naegi rubbing the back of his head feeling unsure. She stared at him with daggers as she was confused about what he was trying to get out of it.
"Don't you feel like he's not the bad guy" replied Naegi looking into Kyoko's eyes determined. Kyoko looks at him even more confused and crosses her arms.
"...What makes you think he's not?" asked Kyoko suspiciously.
"Well Err..." replied Naegi unsure what to say.
"That's what I thought" replied Kyoko flatly as she turned around to continue walking.
'I guess I don't have a good reason to prove he isn't...after all he's the man that has Junko learn about erasing our memories...' thought Naegi as he ran to catch up with Kyoko again.
(Class B-77's Classroom)
11:27am
"Ahh man...I broke it!" cried Kazuichi Soda as he failed with a little device he was working on. The entire class was working on their individual projects as they were suppose to present their talent by the end of next week.
No one seemed to care what Kazuichi said. The Ultimate Secret Agent, was sitting in one of the back seats eating one of his sweet buns as he found one was chocolate cream pie. However, he's so short that his legs couldn't reach the floor and that's why he kept eating pastries to try and get a growth spurt.
"Hmmm...Hmhumhm" replied Yuto Kamishiro.
"Why the fuck are you mumbling while your eating? And why are you in our classroom?!" asked Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu irritated who was sitting beside him to his left.
"He must be enjoying his snack and decided to see what we were all up to I guess" replied Peko Pekoyama who sat a row ahead of him. Kuzuryu looks over to his hit-women and grits his teeth in anger.
"Well he could at least keep it to his fucking self and go elsewhere!" shouted Kuzuryu.
"Hey! That's no way to talk to a student" replied Mahiru Koizumi.
"Don't fuck with me!" replied Kuzuryu frustrated.
"Does somebody need to listen to some awesome music!? I came up with a good name too. It's called The Boy Who Lost His Game" cried Ibuki Mioda
"Not to be rude or anything but that name doesn't sound formal from where I come from" replied Sonia Nevermind
"Ohhh...Sonia those words sounded so beautiful!" cried Kazuichi with his eyes glistening.
"Does anyone know what kind of pastries I make?! They'll melt in your mouth if you try one" replied Teruteru Hanamura as his nose began to bleed.
Yuto Kamishiro was a bit displeased from what he heard and did his best to ignore the comment; knowing very well that his food is very addicting. Time passed and the bell rang at 12pm. Yuto hops off his chair and makes his way to the door. As he gets outside he sees a distinctive women standing across from the hall waiting there. The women looks at him and gestures him to come over to her, as puzzled as he was he made his way over.
"You're Yuto Kamishiro, the Ultimate Secret Agent, right?" asked Junko.
"Uh-huh, who are you?" asked Yuto taking out another pastry from his bag.
"My name is Junko Enoshima, it's a pleasure to meet you shorty" replied Junko patting his head. Yuto blushed a little bit but shook it off because he didn't like to be called shorty.
"I'll grow bigger, just you wait!" cried Yuto.
"Well you're still a teenager, so its highly possible, although maybe you might not" giggled Junko.
"So what do you want?" asked Yuto curiously. She bends her back to lower down to his height and whispers in his ear.
"I need you to do me a little favor" replied Junko, giving an evil smirk.
